Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This is a fully online course with labs, lectures, quizzes, homework, and the final exam all online. The labs will be done at home with a purchased lab kit.  You may use your financial aid before it is released to you by purchasing a lab kit voucher from the PCC bookstore. You will use then this voucher to order  the lab kit through the link below.  The PCC bookstore does not carry the lab kits.

You may also purchase the lab kit directly through the vendor, Science Interactive using a credit card. It takes 10 business days to receive your lab kit once it is ordered so it may be beneficial to buy it as soon as you are able. If you order in the evening start counting business days the next day.  The lab kit will not be available to purchase until June 1.

If you reside in another country, please contact your Instructor.  Your lab kit may be delayed at customs.

The links for the online homework and the lab will also be available from the Instructor via a course email and within the course once it opens.  The Instructor will set up these courses for you during the break between terms, so look for the class email during break if you want to order early.

Chemistry 105OL is offered through the Desire to Learn course management system.
